Hello Everyone
I have several large plants which flower profusely, at times I have 15 flowers at one time, I was very happy to find this site as I had no idea what this plant was just that it was a night flowering plant given to me by a very old friend years ago, it took several years to flower the first time but then after that is is reliably there each summer blooming at night and emitting its beautiful perfume into the night air. I live in Australia and the plant is in a sheltered position in the garden and just keeps on blooming, I have cut it back several times and potted the cuttings and given them to friends and they have grown, was delighted to hear that one friend who has one of my cuttings has just last night had her first moon flower .. they are truly beautiful plants.
